Boy Meets World: Girl Meets World

The very well-known 90's show, Boy Meets World, revolved around a boy Corey Matthews growing up and facing problems with friends, family, school. And of course, his romantic relationship with his childhood friend Topanga played a large role in the series. Nothing could permanently come between the two. In my opinion, their relationship was one of the biggest contributors to the show’s success. I think their onscreen chemistry will also aid in making the new series Girl Meets World a success.

If you haven’t heard, Ben Savage (Cory) and Danielle Fishel (Topanga) will reappear their Boy Meets World roles in Girl Meets World. The series will be based on the grown-up childhood sweethearts raising their 12-year-old daughter, Riley and is scheduled to premiere next year.
As silly as it sounds, Corey and Topanga were my relationship models growing up. In a way it was good and in a way it wasn't  They were good role models because their relationship was always respectful. It showed children and teens how to respect one another in a romantic relationship. However, It gave children and teens the notion that you can find your soul mate in Elementary School which is possible but very unlikely.

My only concern with the spin-off Girl Meets World is the romantic aspect. I hope that Corey and Topanga’s daughter does not also meet her “soul mate” in elementary school, middle school, or high school because that will continue to give to kids and teens the idea that their current boyfriend or girlfriend is their soul mate when in reality he or she is probably not.

I think that this show will either be a huge success or get cancelled after the first season. However, I have high hopes that it will be a success!
